Weekend Confirmed 119 - Spec Ops: The Line, Halo 4
by Garnett Lee, Jun 29, 2012 11:00am PDTAfter visiting with its designer last week, Spec Ops: The Line stands for inspection. Adam Sessler and Paul Semel join Jeff and Garnett in the discussion that looks at the game both on its surface as a shooter and its underlying ambitions to seriously address the carnage of a "heroic," one-man rampage. Along with the discussion of violence, the conversation also turns to the sustainability of the big-budget console game. Halo 4's commitment to episodic content and the demise of Radical Entertainment lead the news discussions. And of course, it all wraps up on Finishing Moves.

Imagine not having to upgrade your console to play PS5 games, but getting benefits through upgrading. Sony could get the cost down on new systems to a relatively nominal fee and give you access to their beefy back catalog.
I do see a number of issues for the service, like lag and less quality graphics when streaming, but I think most people would make that concession to be able to get in on a console experience they may not have otherwise.
All of a sudden, the PSN Plus service is starting to make sense to me. Wish I had jumped on when they were giving away that whole library.

Plus, I doubt they would go fully streaming yet. Although I do have to admit that I'd be on board if they did.
